2. Education
3. Inspection
Explanation:
A fire department is an organization that delivers firefighting services. They are alternatively referred to as fire brigade, fire service or fire authority. They operate within a region or district (for easy access) and are usually public owned.
The ways in which a fire department helps communities include;
1. As the name implies, the fire department delivers firefighting services by putting out fires. They put out fires from buildings, rescue victims that are stuck in burning buildings and offer emergency medical assistance to such victims.
2. They also carry out orientation programs that educate the community by teaching them safety initiatives, fire prevention tips and what to do when there is a fire before the fire department arrives.
3. The fire department also carries out inspections on buildings so as to make sure buildings are safe and reduce the impact any fire emergency could cause.
